Yes, I remember that. It was created by a filipino computer science student. FBI found out it originated from the Philippines and they thought this must be some master programmer for some prominent corporation but when they caught the culprit they were surprised that it was just a youngster. Didn't even reach 22 I think?!

LOL we often joke around here that this virus was one fot he things that made Philippines famous.:P Yeah, it was a young filipino who made the virus. Did you also know that there was a rumor going that US government or something decided to hire or recruit him? Maybe because he also hacked Pentagon i think :P
